paisaje: Tools for spatial and landscape/habitat analysis.

Overview

paisaje is an R package for calculating landscape metrics and performing spatial analysis over raster and vector data, including H3 hexagonal grids.
It provides tools to quantify habitat structure, fragmentation, and landscape patterns, supporting ecological research, environmental monitoring, and spatial data integration using hierarchical grid systems.

Key features include:

  • Calculation of landscape metrics for categorical raster layers
  • Generation and analysis of H3 hexagonal grids for spatial modeling
  • Integration with spatial packages like terra and sf
  • Flexible extraction of metrics at different spatial resolutions
  • Functions for habitat and landscape characterization

By combining powerful spatial analysis tools with a user-friendly API, paisaje facilitates landscape ecology studies, habitat assessment, and spatial modeling workflows.
